All,

this is a great upgrade for Edge... thanks for all involved to make this possible.

I have come across an issue when trying to keep Gmail & Whatsapp Tabs "awake" and running non-stop. Although I have included them into the "Block List" from sleeping, they still go to sleep and I can't avoid them from missing refreshing automatically.

As I result I don't get notification anymore that I received a new Whatsapp message or Email on Gmail browser and the tab shows inactive/sleeping after 2 hours.

Anyone has observed same problems?
